For bacteria, a small genome means some serious decluttering — even in the ribosome

Scienmag

Researchers from Skoltech, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and the Kharkevich Institute for Information Transmission Problems have studied the genomes of some 200 strains of bacteria to determine which proteins in the ribosome, part of the key cell machinery, can be safely lost and why.

The future of genomic medicine: can it fulfil its promises?

pharmaphorum

Here he gives us a deeper look at how genomic medicine is evolving and the barriers that are preventing it from reaching its full potential. I saw this, in particular, with the finishing of the human genome,” says Charlie. “At In reality, finishing the human genome was the first step of what is a long journey.”.

The microbiome in precision medicine

Drug Discovery World

With 100-fold the number of genes in the human genome 1 , this microbial collection is a rich genetic signature of clinical significance that we have only recently gained the tools to explore. Collectively, these systems biology bioinformatic puzzles often require partnerships to solve.
